ANNODATA LIMITED exhibits a trend of significantly delayed payments, with an average payment time of 55 days, well beyond standard 30-day terms. Only 16% of payments are processed within 30 days, indicating a consistent trajectory towards extended payment cycles for the vast majority of invoices. Specifically, 49% of payments fall into the 31-60 day range, and a substantial 35% are settled beyond 60 days.
The reliability of prompt payments from ANNODATA LIMITED is low, as only a small fraction is completed within standard 30-day terms, posing challenges for supplier cash flow predictability. While only 3% of payments are formally "late," the significant 35% made over 60 days introduces considerable variability and unpredictability regarding actual receipt dates. This wide distribution of payment times, particularly the large portion exceeding 60 days, indicates a moderate risk factor for accurate cash flow forecasting.
Suppliers engaging with ANNODATA LIMITED should anticipate an average payment cycle of 55 days and prepare for a high probability of extended payment terms impacting their working capital. Key decision factors include the likelihood of payment occurring between 31-60 days or even beyond 60 days for a substantial portion of invoices. To mitigate risk, suppliers should consider negotiating adjusted payment terms, such as requiring upfront deposits for significant projects, or factoring in the cost of financing delayed payments into their pricing.
